Pereiro's "off form" and there's a very good chance he will not race in the Tour.

Let's see..it was "implied" that there may be an association to OP. He's off form. Now he may not race.

Who's next?

...and Valverde says he just wants a podium spot and hopes for a stage win...WHY THE HECK IS THIS GUY RIDING, AND WHY DOES PRUDHOMME THINK IT'S OK? If there's blood in a bag, it's at least been circumstantially linked to Valverde, and it has tested positive for the presence of EPO, how come the Spanish authorities haven't shown up at his front door with a couple of cotton swabs to check the DNA match? And why aren't the ASO twits squawking any louder than they are about this guy?
